We were ring-around-the-rosy children They were circles around the sun Never give up, never slow down Never grow old, never ever die young
Synchronized with the rising moon Even with the evening star They were true love written in stone Never alone, never that far apart
And we who couldn′t bear to believe they might make it We gotta close our eyes Cut up our losses into doable doses Ration our tears and sighs
Oh, you can see them on the street, on a Saturday night Everyone used to run them down They're a little too sweet, a little too tight Not enough tough for this town
We couldn′t touch them with a ten-foot pole No, it didn't seem to rattle at all They were glued together, body and soul That much more with their backs up against the wall
Hold them up, hold them up Never do let them fall Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin That names us, claims us, shames us all
Guess it had to happen someday soon It wasn't nothing to hold them down They would rise from among us like a big balloon Take the sky, forsake the ground
Yes, other hearts were broken Yeah, all the dreams ran dry But our golden ones sail on, sail on To another land beneath another sky
(Let other hearts be broken) (Let other dreams run dry) But our golden ones sail on, sail on Into another land beneath another sky
Hold them up, hold them up Never do let them fall Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin That names us, claims us, shames us allTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
